C197 (1/2)
Su Li's few consecutive rhetorical questions caused everyone present to become silent.
”If the emperor has no other orders, then this subject shall take her leave.” Su Li looked at Emperor An who had an unfriendly face, and only after a long while did he see him nod his head.
She turned away with the stars.
Mo Lianlang and Mo Chanyu also followed along, anxious like ants on a hot pan.
”Fifth Sister-in-law, what's going on?”
Su Li did not answer their questions. Instead, he pulled Mo Lianlang to a corner where there was no one around, ”Once you enter the enclosure field, tell me what happened after you entered.”
”After entering the competition grounds, father was the only one left by his side, the rest of us spread out, I don't know where fifth brother went to.”
”Does he have a flute and a green tree by his side?”
”Yes.”
”Something must have happened.” Su Li bit her lips tightly, and looked in the direction of the enclosure field. Suddenly, she thought of the Bei Yue, ”After Bei Yue people entered the enclosure field, in what direction did he go? Are there any people with Nan Ling? ”
”It's third brother accompanying us.”
”Mo Lianyun?” Su Li realised that something was amiss.
There must be someone who wants to work with the State Grandmaster. If Mo Lianyun followed Bei Yue people, then the Bei Yue people would not have the chance to touch Mo Lianjin.
Unless …
She remembered that Mo Lianjin had warned her before to be careful of Mo Lianyun.
She didn't understand it before, but now, she seemed to have sensed something.
”Fifth Sister-in-law, what's wrong? What should he do next? I really can't do anything about it. ” Mo Lianlang scratched his face and kept scratching his head.
”How many people did you bring?”
”I don't have a personal guard, I only have one follower.”
No one would be able to send people to find Mo Lianjin.
”Wait first, let's see what happens when the crown prince and Third Prince search for someone.”
”Then Fifth Sister-in-law will go back and wait. As soon as there's any news, I will send someone to tell you.” Mo Lianlang pulled himself together and took on some responsibility, ”I will go back to guard.”
”Yes.”
”Then... So what can I do? ” Mo Chanyu looked at Mo Lianlang who had left, and then looked at the crestfallen Su Li.
”Help me ask around and find out if anyone has seen or heard anything strange.”
”Alright, I will definitely settle this matter for Fifth Sister-in-law.”
Mo Chanyu left as well as he brought Stars Pet Chain Supermarket back to his room.
She took out the Netherworld Udumbara and planted it in a flower pot in the room.
Stars Pet Chain Supermarket took the gauze stained with the Imperial Advisor's blood and twisted it into a basin.
If Su Li sprinkled the powder in the blood, it would ensure that it would not solidify for three days.
”Stars Pet Chain Supermarket, I'll leave the matter of watering the blood to you.”
”Yes.”
For the entire three days, Emperor An sent people to rummage through the surrounding area, yet they were unable to find Mo Lianjin.
At the same time, the Netherworld Udumbara Flower that had been watered with the blood of the Imperial Advisor had finally sprouted.
Su Li counted it several times and came up with the same number, twenty-two.
The current State Grandmaster was indeed not the same State Grandmaster who had followed Emperor An back then.
However, was this secret arranged by the Emperor An? Or did the people from Bei Yue secretly switch pillars?
”Fourth Miss, it's been three days. What should we do next?” Stars Pet Chain Supermarket asked with a rare frown.
In these three days, although Su Li looked like nothing had happened, she knew that under her calm state, she was hiding a lot of fear.
Su Li shifted his gaze away from the Netherworld Udumbara Flower, ”I'm going to look for Emperor An. With the Netherworld Udumbara Flower, I can get some news back no matter what.”
